The peplum was an admired trend during Spring/Summer 2012. The extended hems resembling a short skirt, causing the shape of the waist to become more flattering and giving the hips an elegant and pleasing look if worn right. It’s no wonder this craze has continued on to spread like wild wire during fall this year.

The cut has been embraced by everyone from designers such as Stella McCartney, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs and Burberry to powerhouse High Street retailers such as Topshop, River Island and H&M. Let’s not forget A-Grade fashion forward celebrities who can’t get enough of the peplum either like Gwen Stefani, Blake Lively and Olivia Palermo to name a few.

Plush peplums have become and easy and reliable option to dress you up for fancy nights out. Think pencil skirts and tops with dark romantic floral prints and peplum dresses with embellished trimmings. When a peplum piece is styled to perfection, it’s sure to be a head turner. 

So take inspiration from the catwalk and get frilled-up by treating your hips with fall/winter’s hottest trend that refuses to go away.
